“Facing charges of indecent and reckless endangerment and criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, Blakely was investigated on similar charges more than two years ago when he was still in office. Recalling dozens of complaints in recent years, Terry Christian, a Kingsport detective, told WJHL that Blakely’s behavior has gone on “for so long an (sic) nobody’s addressed it.”

Bill:
First, I have to say that I have been reading your blog for some time now and I really enjoy it. It is interesting and informative. Second, I really wonder if anything can or will be done about the current state of affairs. You write that the heavy hand of the master will soon be bitten. I do not think there are enough of us left that make any difference. We certainly do not make a difference at the voting booth. The moochers out number and now out vote the producers. Democrats and Republicans are politically interchangeable. How many people are willing or able to engage in armed insurrection? We would be wiped out by the federal and/or state government in a flash. Other than riding out the storm by being prepped, I do not see any change in SOP. Finally, congrats and good luck on seed company. We close on our small farm in May and I am looking forward to placing my first order.
